In this lesson we will get into some of the dynamics that made the primitive church so powerful. What the Lord has done in the past are prophesies of what He wants to do again. That thought comes from Charles Spurgeon and it is true. The Lord wants the life of the early church to be in the church of today, regardless of the culture.
We now come in our study of the Gospel of Luke to the hill called The Skull, otherwise known as Golgotha or Calvary, where Jesus was crucified. We will see the people mocking Him, but we will also see a wicked man become the first convert of the crucified Savior. This is a moving message so don’t miss it.
This lesson begins with Jesus blessing some babies and little children. This in turn caused the Lord to do some teaching on the absolute necessity to be like little children if we want to enter the Kingdom of God. After this account we will begin digging into the true story of a rich young ruler that sought after Jesus because he wanted to know how to inherit the Kingdom of God. This is a great lesson.

This lesson is on the Parable of the Good Samaritan, which is a very radical parable that Jesus gave to a religious man that wasn’t right with God.
We will begin studying a new account in Luke which is about an expert in the Mosaic Law that tried to entrap Jesus. The Lord turned the table on the lawyer and forced him to answer a question Jesus presented to him. This is a challenging exchange that teaches some important truths on what it means to follow Jesus. This interaction leads into the Parable of the Good Samaritan that we will begin examining at the end of this lesson.
In this lesson we will examine the wonderful topics of love and mercy and how they relate to the subject of judging others. This is an important lesson so don’t miss it.

The apostle John addresses in the verses we are studying the assurance of salvation and how that effects our prayer life. We will also begin looking at having compassion for a brother or sister in Christ that is wandering from the faith.
Love and faith are the subjects in this lesson. It is important that we understand these two integral components of Biblical Christianity. Since our salvation is defined and determined by God, it is rather important that we know what He has to say on the matter. Our opinions are of no value when it comes to salvation and eternity.
This lesson comes out of First John 4:19-5:1. John continues his discourse on love and presses home what it means to be a genuine follower of Jesus. One key evidence that we have truly been born again is that we begin to love others like Jesus loves us, which is selflessly and sacrificially. This is a good and timely message.
Love, faith, fear and our final judgment are the subjects we will dig into in this lesson out of First John 4:16-18. This practical and relevant teaching is something every Christian needs to understand and put into practice, so don’t miss this lesson.
The apostle John is still pressing home his teaching on love as we study verses 11-15 of the fourth chapter of First John. We will see the necessity of giving evidence that we are genuine followers of Jesus. Confession without a life that proves the validity of our confession is more than worthless, because it can be destructive. But when the true faith is lived out, the benefits are awesome.
In verses 9-10 of First John chapter 4 we will study some very challenging truths about love. This lesson may upset some of your ideas about love and how it works. Yet as Jesus taught, “The truth will set you free.” Listen to this message and let God revolutionize your love.
In First John 4:4-8 there are two topics that we will examine. The first is a continuation of the subject of our last lesson, which was on John’s teaching about false prophets. The second topic is love, which was probably John’s favorite subject to teach and write on. There’s some good meat at this table, so pull up a chair dig in.
The messages in the verses we are studying in this lesson are simple–have faith in Jesus, love Him supremely and love others as He selflessly loves us. That sums up the Christian life. This is a good message so don’t miss it.
In First John 3:16-17 the apostle John is in the midst of his discourse on love. This is a very important episode because it gets into the truth about love. Not the superficial love that is often called romantic, but the strong, consistent love that comes from God. This message will stir your soul.
In this lesson the apostle John makes a strong contrast between those who are followers of Jesus and those who are not. The distinction between the two relate to those who live in and through God’s love and those who do not. This is a challenging message that can help every true believer walk nearer to Jesus and help those who are not one of Christ’s disciples to become one.
In this lesson, First John 3:3-5 are the verses we will focus on. Some of the topics we will examine are hope, the second coming of Christ, the nature of sin and why Jesus came into the world. Don’t miss this challenging message.

In Ephesians 5:1-2 Paul told us how we are to live, which is to imitate Christ. Verses three and four from the fifth chapter of Ephesians will define this lesson. These two verses are about what Christians should not do and how they must not live. We need to know both how to live and how not to live if we want to be authentic followers of Jesus.
Ephesians 5:1-2 is the portion of Scripture we are examining in this lesson. The subject is on love, but not as the world thinks of love. This is a divine love that the Lord made a way for it to work in and through those who truly follow Jesus. This lesson will challenge and encourage you.
Love is the subject of this study on Ephesians 3:18-21. The profound truths Paul gave us in these verses when understood and applied to the life produce supernatural results. This is a soul-stirring message you don’t want to miss.
